Small problems such as a lifted shingle or a cracked seal around a vent let water in slowly, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling the damage underneath may have been building for months. A quick look twice a year, and after every big storm, helps you catch problems early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to look for from the ground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Missing, cracked or curling shingles<\/strong>, or tiles that have slipped out of line.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Granules in the gutters<\/strong>: asphalt shingles shed their gritty coating as they wear out.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Damaged flashing<\/strong> around the chimney, skylights, vents and where the roof meets a wall.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>A sagging ridge or roof line<\/strong>, which can point to a problem with the deck or the frame.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Moss or algae<\/strong> that holds moisture against the roof surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to look for inside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Water stains or damp patches on ceilings and upper walls.<\/li>\n\n<li>Daylight showing through the roof boards in the attic.<\/li>\n\n<li>Damp or moldy insulation, or a musty smell in the attic after rain.<\/li>\n\n<li>Peeling paint near the eaves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use binoculars from the ground or look from a window instead of climbing onto the roof. Wet, steep or mossy roofs are slippery, and walking on them can also break shingles and tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you spot any of these signs, book an inspection. A roofer can tell you whether a small repair is enough or whether the roof is near the end of its life, and show you photos of what they found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most roof problems start small.
